The Grand Court and the Order of Amaranth in Louisiana is a
fraternal, philanthropic and social order. We are fraternal; our
membership is limited. We are philanthropic; we raise money for
charitable causes. And social because we have meetings and other
exciting activities.

To become a member one must be a Master Mason in good standing
in a lodge that is recognized by the Grand Lodge of Louisiana or a female
relation of a Master Mason who is at least 18 years of age or on the
recommendation of two Master Masons; or a woman not related to a Master
Mason, but whom can be recommended by two Master Masons One must profess a belief in a
Supreme Being.

We raise money for numerous worthy causes, however hour main
effort is to raise money for
the Amaranth Diabetes Foundation which assures that every penny we raise goes
toward Diabetes Research.

In Louisiana we have Courts in Baton
Rouge, and Lake Charles and Courts planned for the Alexandria area.The courts share in visitation and
helping with the Stated Meetings.
In addition to Stated Meetings many other activities are scheduled through
the year.
Many are to raise money for our Fight Against Diabetes, however others are
just for fun.
Another thing that distinguishes Amaranth from other organizations are the
friendships that develop over the years. These friendships are very
special and may span the country or the globe.
